The inside rear mirror of my 1999 Mercedes Benz Slk 230 is an electro-chromic self-dimming mirror that has no manual backup. The mirror contained fluid has leaked out causing the self-dimming to fail to provide dimming against rear approaching headlights but instead to be dark and full of bubbles all the time. This causes a hazard as it eliminates rear view capability entirely. There are numerous other cases of this failure documented on line and I have heard that magna donnelly (the manufacturer) was replacing them up until a year ago for free but has stopped and now suggests that we buy a new ($240) or remanufactured one. This is a failure of a safety feature of the car.
